🧠 “It's not just 'Crypto', it's another language: 10 TERMS THAT EVERY BEGINNER SHOULD UNDERSTAND (before investing)”
Entering the crypto world is like landing on another planet. It's not enough to know that "wallet" means wallet or that "token" sounds like a chip. There are words and acronyms that seem simple but hide fundamental concepts that can make the difference between moving forward or being left out of the game.
1. STAKING
Locking your cryptos in a network to earn passive rewards. It's like a fixed term deposit, but on the blockchain.
2. AIRDROP
Gift of tokens for completing simple tasks, such as signing up or interacting with an app. Some can end up being worth a lot.
3. HOLD
Buying and holding a crypto for the long term. It comes from the misspelled term “HODL”: Hold On for Dear Life.
4. FOMO
"Fear Of Missing Out", or the fear of being left out. It drives many to buy late, when the price has already gone up.
5. FUD
"Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt". Negative rumors (sometimes false) that lower the price of a crypto.
6. PUMP AND DUMP
Dangerous technique: inflating the price of a crypto with hype (exaggeration, excitement, and artificially generated expectation in networks or groups), to then sell everything and leave others with losses.
7. TRADE
Buying and selling cryptocurrencies to take advantage of price variations and make profits.
8. BULL RUN
Period when the crypto market experiences rapid and prolonged increases, driven by optimism and rising demand.
9. DIOR
"Do Your Own Research". Don't invest just because others say so: always research on your own.
10. RALLY
Market movement where prices rise consistently over a short or medium period, creating opportunities for investors.
